Scale


Scale based Layout Assignment!

Playing with scale for a layout assignment. I'm not very comfortable with layout, but this wasn't so bad!


Head Rotation & Lip Sync




)

For animation we got to choose any character and do a head turn, expression change and lip sync.

I wanted a bit of a challenge, so I chose Brother Aidan from Secret of Kells. I had to break a lot of the stylistic animation, as the prof wanted to see a lot of three-dimensionality and squash and stretch.

I had a lot of fun with the expression and lip sync, but the rotation was extremely tedious.

I hope I did him justice!!

There are a lot of flaws, but with a short timeline and more of a focus in understanding the software, I'm pretty happy with this c:

(final animation in gif form, please excuse the bad quality of the gif!)

Semester 1 Demo Reel

Instead of going to bed to get sleep for my first of many 8 am classes, I thought I'd get to uploading this!

So after my first Semester of Animation at Sheridan College, we had to put together a Demo Reel. So here's some of my highlights of the semester!

Unfortunately there isn't anything really cool there yet, as we've been learning the basics, but I've learned a lot!
